Paris, Dec. 6 (AFP) - The International Surf Association (ISA) said on Wednesday it welcomed the decision by authorities to suspend work on the venue in Tahiti for the Paris Olympics events.

Work has been suspended after damage was done to coral during tests last week, raising the prospect that the Pacific island will be stripped of its hosting rights.
